Sounds like they are building this big machine that they don't really know what can do, yet they are allmost sure it can't be harmfull.. Well, won't be anyone left to sue them anyways i guess *lol*

"may produce micro black holes, subatomic versions of cosmic black holes ? collapsed stars whose gravity fields are so powerful that they can suck in planets and other stars.

But micro black holes produced by cosmic ray collisions would likely be traveling so fast they would pass harmlessly through the earth."
You got to love the "would likely be traveling so fast.."

Quote:
"Ellis said doomsayers assume that the collider will create micro black holes in the first place, which he called unlikely. And even if they appeared, he said, they would instantly evaporate, as predicted by the British physicist Stephen Hawking."
So he has no idea if it will create black holes, yet he knows for sure that if it does they will quickly evaporate.
